Bay Area Homeless Services’ Corbett takes reins
By ERICA WILLIAMS
The Baytown Sun
The Bay Area Homeless Ser-
vices center’s new executive direc-
tor plans to continue to provide
homeless ser-
vices
and
emergency
assistance to
the Baytown
community.
“We will
continue to
provide initial
intake and
assessment
and provide an
emergency shelter for die people
who are in crisis,” says Bob Cor-
bett, executive director.
Bay Area Homeless Services,
formerly the Bay Area Sheltering
Arms, provides initial intake and
Corbett
assessment and emergency shelter
to homeless people for up to 28
days, with a possible extension of
another 14 days, says Corbett.
Corbett received the position in
June, replacing Fran Flarity who
resigned to take a position in
another city.
Currently, Corbett says the center
is assisting about 60 people, many
of inborn are homeless.
“Homeless families are the
fastest growing segment in the
homeless population,” says Cor-
bett. “We try to help as many
homeless families as we can.”
According to Corbett, the center
also has transitional shelter for up
to two years for homeless people
who have been assessed to have
special needs.
Corbett, who started with the
center in 1991 as an evening man-
ager, expresses pride in the center’s
w w?
placement rate.
“The placement rate figure mea-
sures the number of people not
returning to a homeless situation
after leaving the shelter,” explains
Corbett. “Last year, we had a 100
percent placement rate.”
Corbett credits the excellent sta-
tistics to a comprehensive case-
management program.
“We also offer 12 months of fol-
low-up care for people who leave
the shelter,” he says. “We give
them referrals to other social-ser-
vice providers and we do every
thing that we can to help them.”
Although the center has assisted
numerous homeless people in the
community, Corbett says the center
is forced to turn many homeless
people away because of lack of
space. . i
“We have pretty much outgrown
the building that we are in,” says
Corbett. “In the
be able to
ing to help more,
Corbett, who
coordinator in 1991
director in 1998, says the c
recently received a $42,000 <
gency shelter grant from Harris
County.
“We are very pleased with the
services we have been able to offer
the community,” says Corbett.
“We hope to continue serving the
homeless population.”
